Certainty Quote by Hermann Hesse

“Love must not entreat, nor demand. Love must have the power to find its own way to certainty. Then it ceases merely to be attracted and begins to attract. Your love, Sinclair, is attracted by me. When it begins to attract me, I will come. I will not” quote by Hermann Hesse — Download Open image
